      Almost 10 years ago I was driving home from work, it was around noon and very hot. And I see a kid around 3 just running on the sidewalk with bare feet and I thought that's got to burn, what were the parents thinking. I keep driving and as an afterthought I check the rearview mirror and the kid is still running (and laughing) with no adults around. I almost kept going thinking someone is surely behind it or close by but for some reason the whole situation felt weird, so I turn the car on the curve and go next to the kid. Still no parents, no other adults and I have literally no idea what to do. I take the kid by the hand (I wasn't picking the kid up, it was clearly having a good time so the pavement wasn't that hot and I was not about to get seen with an unknown child in my arms, it's this kind of world) and decide to start ringing the house bells that were right next to us for information.
      Just then I hear a woman screaming. And I see her from 300-400 meters away, a woman who was half dressed, shouting and crying and trying to run as fast as she could towards us. When she finally reached us she couldn't speak, just knelt down and hugged the kid who got scared and started crying too. And through the sobs she basically said she was doing house chores and the kid was playing in the garden and suddenly she couldn't see it anymore. I'm guessing (she never said it) she must have taken a lot of time checking the house too so the kid had to be alone in the streets for at least ten minutes. She finally got back up still hugging it and left. She never said thanks, didn't ask any details, she didn't even say goodbye.
      So the scene in the film where the mom takes the daughter and leaves is totally realistic to me, the shock of losing someone you're supposed to take care of and then the relief that everything is ok is too much, all social interactions and conversation norms just go out of the window.

    To be clear, the Hoover Dam could not "collapse" as depicted, or really at all. Even if it did become compromised due to a massive earthquake, it would at most leak. This is because it was built to basically be a concrete mountain. No properly built/maintained concrete and steel dam has ever "collapsed." The same is true for concrete and steel buildings.

    Hoover Dam is a marvelous piece of engineering. It is actually stronger today than the day that was built. Concrete tends to cure for ever. This structure will last an eternity, even longer than the Giza's pyramids. If there is one safe place to be during a catastrophe is at the Hoover Dam.

      Hmm…You know Giza‘s pyramid is already around for c 4600 years. Unlike Hoover Dam the pyramid is not constantly exposed to enourmous water pressure. And unlike Hoover Dam the pyramid is not relatively close to a tectonic boundary of continental plates, aka San Andreas fault. So while hopefully we we will never know, there is a good chance that you are wrong.

      ⁠@@TheOneMonk the Hoover damn is built more like a mountain it’s more wide then it is long and absolutely indestructible and it is true the Hoover damn will most likely be one of the longest lasting human creations the water doesn’t really mean anything I don’t think you know what you mean by water pressure.
      The Hoover damn was built to survive earthquakes up to 8.0 and more realistically it could handle a 9.0 the only Tectonic plate in the US that could generate that power is the Wan-De-Fuca plate off the coast of the Pacific Northwest
      And another thing is the Pyramids are ALOT closer to a tectonic plate boundary (the one right off the coast of the Red Sea) then the Hoover damn the pyramids of Egypt went through a 6.5 earthquake in the 1300s and were completely fine Egypt isn’t as large as you think.

      Yes because the survival instincts over million years of evolution told us to cower in fear like that, ever heard of the flight or fight response. Also this could have been such an easy fix for the script writers to show how heroic the character is in a way that doesn't feel so contrived. I would have suspended my disbelief if the person the red coat was saving was disabled, had a broken leg hell they could have showed us that she was to slow and the red coat could have picked her up while they were both running.

      The barriers are put into place to take advantage of the hydrodynamic law path of least resistance. In case of a catastrophic failure, the middle of the damn is destroyed releasing the water pressure and allowing the sides to stay up. Chances of survival are greatly increased when people are able to escape to the sides as opposed to the whole thing being destroyed. It has nothing to do with where the earthquake hit but how it was constructed.

Now they filmed this before I worked there, but the Public Affairs officer told me that Bay used 'guerilla tactics' to film and scan Hoover as they didn't want to obtain the permits/reserve the dam for the little amount they needed.. They sent up a drone and did their scan, then dipped lol. It's not like when he did the first Transformers movie.. He did Hoover the right way.. and no there's no museum with old ass weapons in it, lol.. But, often when leaving for the day, tourists would ask what I did there and I'd respond with 'Megatron Maintenance Crew Charlie'..

    It's hilarious how disaster movies always show stuff that literally can't happen. People don't realize how thick the Hoover dam is, it's thicker front-to-back at its base than the span across the top (from one side of the canyon to the other). It's an enormous wedge of concrete, more like a mountain than a wall. Any earthquake capable of making it collapse would also make the mountains around it collapse.

      Some kids will automatically try to hide or huddle away where they feel safe. Watch some vids of children reacting to a fake fire or safety situation. Some parents think they’ve taught their kids to “do the right thing” in a dangerous situation, but when it actually happens, kids sometimes follow their instincts to hide instead of getting out of danger.

    I know way too much about this dam to find this believable. 🙈 There’s no way this type of dam could ever break like it did in this movie. Unless the fault line ran right down the center of Lake Mead, and the land shifted in opposite directions right where the dam crossed, all it would experience is some external cracks that wouldn’t even be deep enough to let water through. …and even then, it would have to be a VERY significant shift.

    Hoover Dam is not going down from San Andreas. It sits in a very solid canyon of extraordinarily strong rock and is both a Gravity and Geometric dam. It is one of the most solidly built dams on earth. It probably is not at risk of failure except due to internal technical stuff which probably isn't a catastrophic failure. Right now with the lake about 1/3 full and dropping failure is a non-starter
